The longest you have owned any gear?

Not counting accessories such as a Zerostat which I bought eons ago, the one piece of equipment I own which I've had the longest is my turntable- 19 years now.

What's been your experience?

Also still have my Advent New Large Utility speakers (recently restored by Millersound) in a secondary system. Got these in Febuary, 1978, as an early High School graduation gift. Oldest accessory would be my Discwasher record brush, which I think I purchased sometime around 1976 or 1977. I don't use it often these days, but I still have it.

Now somewhat modified, but with original motor, arm, platter and plinth. It was a big purchase for me then, one year out of college, but I refused to re-buy my LPs in CD form and wanted a ’table that would last longer than my Technics belt drive TT. It certainly has lasted. It will probably outlive me. Also, my Advent New Large Utility speakers, now in a secondary system. My HS graduation present in 1978, refoamed in 2017(?) by Miilersound. Still sound pretty good.
